Impossible to pick a favorite, leaving much out... -- Saw Bob Dylan 2x, Allman Bros. 4x, saw The Who in 1982 (and later), Van Morrison 3x, Warren Zevon 3x, Bonnie Raitt 3x @ her peak, Neil Young 3x (Ragged Glory = bliss), fIREHOSE 2x, Waterboys, Bears, NRBQ, Black Crowes, Steely Dan 2x, Syd Straw (met her), JazzFest in NOLA many times, Richard Thompson, Iggy Pop... like I said, impossible to pick. Saw REM play bars as one of 20 in the room, then later as a big attraction. I missed the Lowell George era but as a Little Feat fan was jacked to see them reunite in the early 90s... all that said, as has been said many times before, "There is NOTHING like your first Grateful Dead concert".

And, I have a great memory of my parents taking me to see Ella Fitzgerald, so if this is a competition, I win. ~p

Been to many many shows... Grateful Dead, ACDC, Kiss, the Monsters of Rock shows, Phish, the first Bonnaroo, Van Halen,Pantera,FARMAID,HORDE, U2, Stones, of course our own DasPanic's band, Widespread Panic. Saw Metallica open for Ozzy, saw GNR open for Metallica and Metallica open for GNR, Janes addicition, SRV, Clapton, Billy Joel and so many more. But and I may get laughed at for saying this one of the greatest live acts I have seen to this day is still REO Speedwagon, they are unreal live

hands down was priest and maiden at the garden in 82'. priest was touring screaming for vengeance and maiden was touring number of the beast. moshin headbangin crazies everywhere, god i miss those days

I saw them on the same tour at the Worcester Centrum & thought Maiden stole the show that night & being big fan of theirs, no surprise. The BEST metal show I EVER witnessed hands down.

A really hard question to answer!

Metallica back in their prime was great!
Van Halen with Sammy on the 5150 tour was a double treat.
Seeing KISS for the first time was probably my favorite since I was a fanatic...
Eagles are very good live, and last year seeing Roger Waters perform "The Wall" in it's entirety was a fantastic show!!!

Guns & Roses New Haven Coliseum Appetite For Destruction!! The place was alive!!
